Abstract
We report significant discordance in the prevalence of patient comorbidities and incidence of adverse events in primary THA and TKA between ACS-NSQIP and the administrative claims data of Medicare and United Healthcare. These disparities have implications for observational outcome studies as well as payment adjudication under the CJR reimbursement model in total joint arthroplasty.
